Each table in this brand new four-table pack chronicles blockbuster events experienced by Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Fans of previous Marvel Pinball tables will experience a fresh approach to the critically acclaimed series, including deeper character interactions, more dialogue, and the most explosive action to date. Table Overviews Marvel's The Avengers table reflects the events of this summer's highly anticipated blockbuster, pitting all six Avengers against Loki's invasion of Earth. Nick Fury commands the team of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, each character represented by a customized ball that echoes his or her own appearance and power set. Hulk Smash!

The Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock enlist Earth's Mightiest Heroes – including you – to recover the six Infinity Gems from Thanos and save the universe in The Infinity Gauntlet. The intense pinball atmosphere heightens as each Infinity Gem produces a special effect on the table, such as literally flipping the table upside down with the Reality Gem. The Avengers must defeat Odin's long-banished brother, the Serpent, and free the world from the grip of chaos in Fear Itself. Featuring a table design unlike any to date, Fear Itself utilizes magnetic energy in ways no one has ever before experienced on a pinball table.
